The answer? Well, it depends. But high-quality, SEO-optimized content published consistently goes a long way.
Keep in mind:
- No one-size-fits-all answer. The number of blog posts required for SEO traffic varies based on niche, competition, and content quality.
- Google sandbox effect – New sites often struggle to rank because Google requires them to prove authority before indexing content.
- Importance of indexing – If your content isn’t indexed, it won’t appear in search results; consistency in publishing helps with indexing.
- Varying opinions on post count – Some claim you need 60-150 posts to rank, but bloggers have seen success with as few as 4 posts.
- Recommended posting strategy – Launch with at least 3 high-quality posts and aim for consistent posting (e.g., 1 post per week) to build authority.
- Quality over quantity – More posts don’t always mean more traffic; SEO-optimized, high-quality content matters more than sheer volume.
- Publishing frequency myths – Large publishers post dozens of times daily, but their traffic comes from factors beyond just volume (e.g., domain authority, news content).
- Alternative posting strategies – Some bloggers batch-publish posts every few months rather than posting weekly, and still achieve SEO success.
